Speeding car runs over two children playing on road in Meerut; driver flees, CCTV captures crash

A disturbing video has emerged from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. The video, shared on social media, shows a speeding car running over two small children who were playing on the road.

The entire incident was recorded by a nearby CCTV camera. The footage shows two children playing at the side of a narrow road. A bicycle passes first, and then a four-wheeler arrives. The driver appears not to have realised that two children were playing ahead, and drove on at speed, hitting both of them.

The children were hit by the car and ended up under it. There was a loud noise, and only then did the driver realise something had gone wrong. Hearing the screams, neighbours and the children's family members rushed to help. In the video, the car is seen stopped at the spot. Local residents pulled the children out from under the vehicle and immediately admitted them to a nearby hospital.

The car driver is reported to have fled the spot after the accident. There is no official information yet on the condition of the children admitted to hospital.

The video was shared on X from an account named @RajuSharmajour1. The post says children should not be left alone on the road. According to the post, a speeding car hit two small children playing outside their home in Meerut and both got trapped under it. Family members who came running on hearing the children's screams somehow pulled them out from under the car.

After the video was seen, there was an outpouring of anger on social media. One user wrote, "Oh my God, but how did the driver not see the children." Another asked, "Had the driver gone blind? Was he driving under the influence?" Yet another wrote, "Parents should keep an eye on their children." Some people are blaming the driver, while others are blaming the children's families.
